Damn sorry to hear that, I was wondering whatever happened to her while Billy Magnussen has become more famous than any of the other Casey’s on ATWT.

I personally thought Brad and Lauren were the best together in the mid-90’s and could have been a force to be reckon with as the rogues of Genoa City but that didn’t happen unfortunately. I suppose at best it drove Traci and Paul insane to see their arch nemeses have a torrid affair with the one they loved the most and then carry on in the open after Scotty died. BTW how long exactly was the college professor Tim Sullivan on the show for? Seems he lasted for like 7 or 8 years as the go to guy for Traci to run back to, it’s too bad Traci never got to address Colleen’s relationship with Dr. Korbel.

Wait I missed today’s episode but was it actually the volcano episode? 🤢🤢🤢 Y&R’s worst story ever, glad I missed it. +1. I didn’t even remember they had reaired the wedding in ‘01 but at the time most of the classics Y&R would air would be 10 years old or so. I remember GL airing a 1983 episode on New Years Day 2003 but not even Y&R went that far back.

Loved Connor too she was indeed IMO one of the best characters especially in that 1993-95 period. Interesting as I never thought about how Nancy ever was to Don and Janice. I do recall reading something a long time ago about when Don returned in the late 60’s the Hughes were shocked to learn Janice had been dead for some time and Don had shipped the kids off to live with Janice’s family without Don even bothering to contact them when it happened. Sheesh! Whatever happened to John and Marion Hughes?

Interesting this aired on my birthday that year LOL but more interesting this will be the first time I see Aldrich since she first aired as Victoria (she wasn’t good but material of her brief time has been extremely scarce) was pretty much gone by months end.

Thanks I knew that was too early but I missed it originally. In fact I recall missing most of the time between Fen’s birth and the big ice storm event but didn’t really care at the time that I had missed out LOL. Now that I think about it I remember Phick later found out their marriage wasn’t even actually legally binding hence the second wedding.

Is this the one where Phyllis gets arrested for blackmail or was that another one LOL? I just remember MAB ripped it off for the first Villy wedding complete with Phyllis doing some crappy Mary Alice from Desperate Housewives narration while Elinor Donahue played the minister. They better not air that crap either!

What a disaster. Did he EP any other P&G soaps?

LOL we were talking about her a few days ago on DTS in the topic of older characters giving birth about Lyla; how Maggie was suppose to be the much younger sister of Lyla although I believe Sward is actually younger than Rapeleye. That said I don’t mind Frank & Maggie or the story they had with Cal & Diana from what I’ve seen but they certainly weren’t the most memorable thing going on.

I completely agree with this. I have been rewatching Dallas on Amazon Prime and finally have gotten to later seasons. I really enjoyed the story Michelle did with Barbara Eden haha I know it was panned but I found it rather entertaining. That last season characters like Michelle, Cally and Liz made the show but they had to tangle with old JR, Cliff, and McKay(I really enjoyed George Kennedy on Dallas, was glad him and Rose got back together before the finale lol).

Lisa’s stories for the early 70’s sound so strange, even as as late as 1975. I figure they wanted to mature her but had no idea what to do with her. When did the show kill over her son Chuckie? Seems kind of strange to do that along with “phantom” pregnancy. My guess is Lisa having to go toe to toe with Janice is how she got her groove back. As for Bathlomew I didn’t realize her was EP during this time. If I recall right he was once a popular child actor that was long forgotten by the late 70’s by the time his attempts to helm both ATWT and SFT proved futile.

Thanks so much! Sounds like she was a classic soap vixen/femme fatale. I never knew John had an affair with her or was so adulterous around this time like he was in his final years. I’m always fascinated by the Lenore character, especially spending years trying to keep her deceased husband’s crime of murder well covered up.

Re: AW 1972 what kind of character was Bernice Robinson like?

I feel bad for Lawrence St. Victor. I remember he started off as green on GL and was heavily criticized as the “prestigious acting school graduate” although to be fair the writing for Remy pretty lousy as even though he suppose to be a good guy he was written to be antagonistic. I admit I did enjoy final story with Karla Mosley’s character even though it was silly at least. I’ve enjoyed St. Victor on B&B it’s shameful that the show has given him so very little to do. It reminds me of how B&B hired that guy who was the winner of the first season of “I Wanna Be a Soap Star!” on SoapNet not long after his brief winning stint on GH ended. They hyped it up how he was Lt. Baker’s son and how he’d be more involved on the show but ended up being a worthless bit player for years before he stopped appearing.

Weirdly wasn’t that Miguel dressed up as the Native American Chief going after Esther? I remember reading something form 1984 Y&R where Miguel & Esther had some flirtatious scenes scenes never addressed again and Miguel apparently mentioned a brother who went to law school while Esther mentioned having a brother on screen. Years later I remember reading Skip Evans was planned to be Esther’s brother while John Silva was suppose to be Miguel’s brother but they decided against making any connections WTH? But then again I remember reading this from the same source that claimed Skip died in a motorcycle accident in 1991, something I have never verified and will never repeat as fact unless proven true.

I was pretty disgusted with Passions handling of rape after rape and doing things out of spite just for pure shock value but I do remember the show’s main villains like Alistair and Rebecca being openly racist/sexist/homophobic etc. But I do remember it was a large stampede of disgruntled lesbians led by Simone is what killed Alistair Crane in 2006 with Kathleen Noone’s character shouting out “Thank God for the lesbians!” I remember I think it was Toups’ great assessment after JER’s passing that I will always remember that by that point it was a complicated Reilly just trying to communicate his thoughts out to the world.

Wow I almost forgot how I did like Toni and Etta Mae on AW in its final years along with Chris, Tyrone and the last Dana. I remember liking from what I saw of Zach and Julie Ann from the SoapNet reruns but found it odd the show had them as brother & sister given what I thought was chemistry LOL. Zach(played by a younger James Pickens!) was brought on for Quinn as her last love interest before she was murdered. I wonder whatever happened to the actress who played Julie Ann. Early 80’s AW always sounds like an interesting as far as having a diverse set of characters like Quinn, Thomasina, the Todd Brothers, Roy, Henrietta, Abel & Leo etc. I wonder how much front burner airtime they actually did get. Lemay & Rauch had Linda Metcafe last as a supporting for almost a decade and was even given a love interest on screen in a cop who if I remember right died in a fire(?)

I don’t remember if they did or not but I did catch Lauren giving the side eye to Gina! Brad & Colleen were sweet, I don’t recall Colleen ever interacting too much with Victor at all until after Brad died and she got his board seat and Victor humiliated her. Ugh.

Y&R Sept 2001-I recall this was right at Scott’s tenure as EP was ending, with Nikki gone due to 11th hour contract negotiations as Christopher Douglas replaced as Sean by the actor in this episode due to Alden & Scott feuding. That said another gorgeous ep and I was glad at the time that Lauren was back on Y&R again. Cassie was such a wonderful kid to watch.

Kevin & Chloe? A dreadful couple that should have been killed off a long time ago!

The last mention of DJ Craig, was that in 2006 when Marlena had gotten her memory back? I recall her briefly mentioning his death but she didn’t mention Don by name, I wonder who wrote that script.

It was one of those storylines I think Belk & Co. instantly regretted as they swept it under the rug real quick and I think it was originally intended for all purposes that Lily was indeed Neil’s daughter. But it was a rape and stated on screen as such. I do remember a lot early online folks later would see Malcolm as a massive hypocrite when fighting with Neil. I don’t remember it being a big deal in the soap press it was probably overshadowed in coverage by all the sexual misdeeds that went on with Austin/Sami/Lucas/Carrie over on Days. The cold medication regrets didn’t stop the show later from Nick having sex drunk with Grace thinking it was Sharon. In fact Thudley over at B&B even gave Ridge & Brooke an even more trashier cold medication sex story in 2006.

It really was. Megan McTavish did a horrific number on GL in 1996 it was one of many trashy abhorrent storylines that aired that summer until her firing.

Considering what all was going on the show at time it wasn’t that bad of an umbrella event although it wasn’t all that great either. As for Sharp after he left ATWT I recall another soap, I think PC hired him and hyped it up like ATWT did that they had hired him yet next thing I knew he was under SOD’s Who’s Goings section. I don’t think Monti has done anything daytime since.

Yikes I remember that too! Aside from Ben & Camille I wasn’t impressed by anything ATWT had tried in the late in the ‘90’s. I remember the show hyped it up big they hired Monti Sharpe so of course his character was a filthy creep.
